And... lastly, if you want to 'give a spin', 'kick the tires', etc., of 
the reiser4 (SFRN 4.0.2) -enhanced 5.15.220 LTS iteration, possibly to 
provide constructive feedback[?], it has been made available now as a 
Debian Installer (d-i) ISO/USB netboot image (-lts label concatenated) 
suitable for either a virtual machine and/or bare metal installation 
[2].

I think Ian Murdock would add this 'milestone' to the history of Debian 
;-) ... even if you do not hack any more reiser4 patches, Ed.
